Abstract

This study attempts to analyze the value of green-space landscapes as the symbolic landscape in urban regions and also attempts to discuss the landscape types in urban locations. Symbolic places were suggested by the sampled dwellers (kindergartners and teachers of primary and secondary schools) in 32 cities of Hokkaido from a mailed question naire survey. The main landscape elements which are the characteristic of Hokkaido cities are as follows;(1) Renown parks in densily inhabited districts (DIDs) and their surroundings, (2) Artificial landscape elements which express important industrial functions in DIDs and their surroundings, (3) Typical natural landscape elements in the respective areas. The main “beautifull” landscape elements are as follows;(1) Renown parks in DIDs and their surro undings, (2) Many renown natural landscape elements involving mountains, hills, rivers, lakes and seashores which exist in the surroundings and remote areas. The types of landscape elements remain differently according to the geographical location of the cities and more than a few landscape elements were selected from DIDs and their outside areas. As a whole, the results have shown that green-space landscape elements may have great value as symbolic landscape elements in urban regions. Regarding these results, we can ascertain that when planning urban green-spaces, it is of paramount importance to conserve the green-spaces and similar areas. Also it remains important to discover those resources existing within potential landscapes.
